Supply Chain Strategy
THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS provides a wide range of services in logistics and the supply chain. We ensure that our advice and recommendations are practical and deliverable, factors sometimes missed when undertaking supply chain strategy work. Our services within the supply chain broadly cover strategic planning, network design and supply chain modelling where we have a number of software tools that have been develop by us over the years.
For us supply chain strategy development often starts with the business model that the organisation is seeking to work to which will often be based on the markets sectors, customer services and product profiles that the organisation wishes to offer. This leads into supply chain strategy development and then onto infrastructure and systems.
Supply chain thinking can appear to be constantly changing, sometimes contradictory and difficult to apply. At THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS our aim is to simplify these ideas and turn them into reality. When the froth is blown away, supply chain thinking is often simply the application of common sense.
